Better then Ubuntu? No Canonical proprietary solutions. Better then Debian? More recent package base. Better then both: HiDPI support for GRUB and desktop (automated adjustments on big screen resolutions), immutable firmware (kernel upgrade locked to additionally enhance stability), NVIDIA graphics acceleration with proprietary driver, Intel graphics acceleration also works out of the box, preinstalled Google …

So recently I learnt about these x86 offerings of armbian. The Jammy version looks very enticing, for a nice stable experience.

Is it a reliable distribution in the community’s opinion?
